abstract="Since road accident analyses and reconstructions are increasingly based on specific computer software for simulation of vehicle driving dynamics and collision dynamics, and for simulation of a set of trial runs from which the model that best describes a real event can be selected, the paper presents an overview of selected computer software and methods available to accident reconstruction experts. Besides being time-saving, when properly used, such computer software can provide more authentic and more trustworthy accident reconstruction, therefore practical experiences while using computer software tools for road accident reconstruction obtained in the Transport Safety Laboratory at the Faculty for Maritime Studies and Transport of the University of Ljubljana are presented and discussed. This paper addresses also software technology for extracting maximum information from the accident photo-documentation to support accident reconstruction based on the simulation software, as well as the field work of reconstruction expertsor police on the road accident scene defined by this technology.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
